<p>Rising senior in the tri-state (ny-nj-ct) area</p>

SAT: 2350
SATII: Bio - 750, Math2- 800, Physics - 800, Chemistry - 790, USH - 800, Spanish with listening - 800
APs:Bio, Calc BC, European History, Env. Sci, Physics C (Mechanics and E and M), Chemistry, US History, Statistics, Spanish Language, English Language (all 5s)</p>

<p>ECs:
Nothing that would make or break me (math, science, academic teams) except my 4:12 mile and 9:23 2-mile times…so I guess my hopes hang on getting recruited and then accepted.</p>

<p>Essays and recs: good
ED: Either Princeton, Harvard, or Yale</p>

<p>Other colleges:</p>

<p>rest of the ivies
MIT
JHU
Carnegie-Mellon
Tufts
Georgetown</p>

<p>So I guess auto rejection without the ECs?</p>

3

<p>I think you have a great chance, honestly. DO try to get recruited - the times are impressive. Hope you took ‘hard’ classes.</p>

4

<p>Well, those APs…</p>

5

<p>oh yea, sorry</p>

6

<p>anyone else care to give me a reach/match/safety scenario?</p>

7

<p>HOLY CRAP.
MIT-slight reach
HYP- accepted into at least 1 of them
JHU, Car-Melo, Tufts-strong match
Georgetown-match to slight reach…ure records r more towards math/ science…and georgetown is not a math.sci college</p>

8

<p>MIT- reach
Harvard- reach
Princeton- reach
Yale- reach
JHU- match
CMU- safe match/match
Tufts- safe match/match
Gtown- safe match/match</p>

<p>try to get recruited by the ivies and then you will have a better chance though</p>

9

<p>Yeah man, I already said that’s what I’m gonna do…it’s “when” not “if” I push for recruitment lol. I’ve worked too hard for that mile time to not get something for it ;)</p>

10

<p>BTW does anyone know how much legacies play a role in the admissions process? I know a kid whose parents and older brother both went to Princeton, and he’s applying as well…</p>

<p>How many sports seasons do most intercollegiate (or whatever they call that level just below NCAA, not intramural) athletes play? Just 1 or up to 3?</p>
